Bet on England to win the World Cup? are we getting carried away here or is this a real possibility this time? It's easy to get carried away being an England fan, lets face it, we always do it.. we can't help ourselves!

That being said, this tournament has some notable differences from previous England disappointments. For starters, expectation levels are lower than they have been for a long, long time. We have a squad of young players who have never experienced those World Cup disappointments.

Gareth Southgate has instilled a philosophy that this squad has bought into, the nation has too. The system including the back three and pacy attacking midfielders has made us a real threat to any opposition we face. We shouldn't fear any nation!.

Poland vs Senegal

19/06/2018

Tips for Poland vs Senegal

The Bet King's Analysis

Senegal have a knack of hurting the big boys and will feel confident that they can upset Poland today. It should be a close one but the difference between the two sides should be Poland's talisman Robert Lewandowski.

Colombia vs Japan

19/06/2018

Tips for Colombia vs Japan

The Bet King's Analysis

Colombia should be too strong for the Japanese here today. Former Man Utd and Chelsea striker Radamel Falcao has seen a resurgence in form and looks to have put his injury nightmares behind him heading to Russia.

Tunisia vs England

18/06/2018

Tips for Tunisia vs England

The Bet King's Analysis

England kick-off their campaign with a tricky tie against a resilient Tunisian side who have looked good in qualifying. An early goal for England would make all the difference here otherwise it could be a frustrating evening. I think England will win but not by a huge margin, 2-0 looks like a good bet for this one!

Belgium vs Panama

18/06/2018

Tips for Belgium vs Panama

The Bet King's Analysis

For a number of years now Belgium have been considered many people's dark-horses. On paper they have an incredible array of talent, but, can they go that extra step as a team and win the World Cup? Its a difficult one too call but for this match they should be way too powerful for the comparative minnows of Panama.

Sweden vs South Korea

18/06/2018

Tips for Sweden vs South Korea

The Bet King's Analysis

It doesn't look like a classic on paper at least, but, both sides have plenty of energy in their squads and this could be one of those games that really gets going. The Swedes have gone with quite an experienced side with Marcus Berg entrusted with firing the goals to get them out of the group.

Germany vs Mexico

17/06/2018

Tips for Germany vs Mexico

The Bet King's Analysis

The reigning champions begin their defence with a potentially tricky tie against a Mexico team who are more than capable of a surprise or two in Russia. It will be interesting to see how Timo Werner adapts to World Cup football after a terrific bundesliga campaign.

Costa Rica vs Serbia

17/06/2018

Tips for Costa Rica vs Serbia

The Bet King's Analysis

The Costa Rican's are no mugs but lets face it, they will have to perform way beyond most peoples expectations to get beyond the group stage. Serbia are functional as ever without having too many star names. They will be looking to Newcastle's Aleksander Mitrovic to fire them to a victory in their opening game here.

Croatia vs Nigeria

16/06/2018

Tips for Croatia vs Nigeria

The Bet King's Analysis

Croatia look like they have a really nice balance of youth and experience going into this tournament. Modric and Rakitic (Real Madrid & Barcelona respectively) offer them a midfield that can compete with any of the big guns. Will it all come together for them in Russia though when it really matters?

Peru vs Denmark

16/06/2018

Tips for Peru vs Denmark

The Bet King's Analysis

Peru V Denmark isn't a fixture that will excite many neutrals but both sides have some very technically gifted youngsters. Peru are managed by former Newcastle United favourite Nobby Solano and will be looking to spring a surprise or two in this, their first Fifa World Cup finals appearance since 1982.

Argentina vs Iceland

16/06/2018

Tips for Argentina vs Iceland

The Bet King's Analysis

The Iceland team go into this competition with nothing to lose. They have made huge strides as a footballing nation and lets not forget what happened to England in the last major tournament. I cant see any major upset today though and with Lionel Messi and co looking to start off with a bang its difficult to see anything other than a comfortable win for Argentina.

France vs Australia

16/06/2018

Tips for France vs Australia

The Bet King's Analysis

France go into this game as huge favourites and will be looking to their superstars such as Antoine Griezmann to fire them to glory at Russia 2018. Its hard to see anything other than a comfortable win for Les Blues here.

Portugal vs Spain

15/06/2018

Tips for Portugal vs Spain

The Bet King's Analysis

The big game of the day is Portugal V Spain with the latter looking to put their managerial dramas of the last few days behind them and establish themselves in this tournament early on. Portugal will look to Cristiano Ronaldo to fire them to the trophy in what will most likely be his last attempt at 33.

Morocco vs Iran

15/06/2018

Tips for Morocco vs Iran

The Bet King's Analysis

Next up its Morocco V Iran in the second game of the day. Both sides are clear outsiders in the tournament and to have any chance of progressing to the knockout stages they’ll need some big performances. We cant see this one being a classic, but, you never know in football.

Egypt vs Uruguay

15/06/2018

Tips for Egypt vs Uruguay

The Bet King's Analysis

Day Two kicks-off with Egypt V Uruguay and the South Americans go into this as strong favorites to win. With a forward line of Luis Suarez and Edinson Cavani they will go into this tournament as the dark horse to watch. Egypt will be looking for a good performance from Mo Salah if they’re to have any real chance of winning here today.

Day One - Thursday 14th June

Russia V Saudi Arabia

Its the host host nation that kicks off proceedings to what we hope will be a memorable Fifa World Cup. Both sides will be looking to hit the ground running but its hard to see anything other than a win for Russia today. This is reflected in the bookies odds - Russia to win 10/21 / Draw 39/11 / Saudia Arabia to win 9/1

Its almost here, the Fifa World Cup 2018 in Russia is upon us, and what better way to celebrate than to remind ourselves why we love this competition so much. Here are the Greatest World Cup Goals. Enjoy!
